Abstract

Purpose

Focusing on the corporations in China and aiming to figure out the significant connection between organizational justice perception and job satisfaction from Chinese setting, this study aimed to examine the effects of organizational justice upon job satisfaction of the full-time and part-time employees in the state owned enterprise (SOEs) and primate Chinese companies.

Design/methodology/approach

The study adopted the questionnaire to investigate more than 300 employees, and the empirical data of this paper is based on statistical analysis, such as confirmatory factor analysis, correlational and regression analysis.

Findings

The paper arrives at the conclusion that in SOEs, the employees’ perception about procedural justice was higher than distributive justice. While in private enterprises, the procedural justice and interactive justice were tested to have similar coefficients. The relationship between organizational justice and job satisfaction differed between full-time employees and part-time employees.

Practical implications

This study opens a new window for understanding how organizational justice influences employees’ job satisfaction in Chinese context, taking a further step to explore the different impacts of organizational justice on job satisfaction among different types of employees.

Originality/value

This paper collected data from both SOE and private companies in China, increasing the external validity of the findings. Meanwhile, the authors observed consistent findings with the studies in Western Society, which increase the generalization of our findings as well. The findings highlight the value of integrating literatures on organizational justice and job satisfaction.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper investigates the moderating role of sustainability committees in the relationship between environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and environmental innovation within European nonfinancial firms.

Design/methodology/approach

The study analyzes data from 691 nonfinancial sector firms operating within EU states from 2013 to 2022. It employs regression analysis to examine the correlation between ESG performance and environmental innovation, considering the moderating effect of sustainability committees.

Findings

The research reveals a significant and positive correlation between ESG performance and environmental innovation. Moreover, it demonstrates that sustainability committees play a positive moderating role in this relationship, indicating their importance in fostering environmental innovation within organizations.

Research limitations/implications

The study is limited to European nonfinancial companies, potentially limiting the generalizability of findings. Additionally, the research focuses on the moderating role of sustainability committees, leaving room for further exploration of other governance mechanisms.

Practical implications

The findings suggest that implementing an ESG performance framework and establishing dedicated sustainability oversight mechanisms, such as sustainability committees, can enhance environmental innovation within organizations. This insight is valuable for strategic decision-making aimed at advancing both sustainability and innovation agendas.

Originality/value

This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring the moderating effect of sustainability committees on the link between ESG performance and environmental innovation from various theoretical viewpoints. It contributes to the understanding of mechanisms that enhance environmental innovation within companies and provides practical implications for corporate reporting accuracy and sustainability initiatives.

Abstract

Purpose

Given the competitiveness of the business environment globally, environmental, social and governance (ESG), which represents a sustainable development framework that integrates environmental, social and corporate governance factors, has become an increasingly recognized concept in emerging markets. In the case of Ghana, its implementation is influenced by several factors, including leadership.

Design/methodology/approach

Drawing on the resource-based view theory, higher-order theory and stakeholder theory, we developed and evaluated a serial mediation model to explain how ESG performance and corporate reputation can connect transformational leadership to enhance competitive advantage. Utilizing the Process Macro model 6 in SPSS, data were collected from 340 senior managers/executives and middle-level managers from European multinational firms operating in Ghana.

Findings

The results indicate that transformational leadership positively affects ESG performance. Enhanced ESG performance, in turn, leads to improved corporate reputation, which subsequently results in a stronger competitive advantage.

Research limitations/implications

This study is limited to European multinational firms operating in Ghana, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings to other contexts or regions.

Practical implications

The findings suggest that organizations aiming to strengthen their competitive advantage should prioritize transformational leadership practices that foster ESG initiatives, as these are critical drivers of corporate reputation and market positioning.

Originality/value

This study provides new insights into the interwovenness between ESG performance and leadership in enhancing corporate reputation and competitive advantage within the context of emerging markets.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this investigation is to identify, evaluate, integrate and summarize relevant and qualified papers through conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) on the application of recommender systems (RSs) to suggest a scholarly publication venue for researcher's paper.

Design/methodology/approach

To identify the relevant papers published up to August 11, 2018, an SLR study on four databases (Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect) was conducted. We pursued the guidelines presented by Kitchenham and Charters (2007) for performing SLRs in software engineering. The papers were analyzed based on data sources, RSs classes, techniques/methods/algorithms, datasets, evaluation methodologies and metrics, as well as future directions.

Findings

A total of 32 papers were identified. The most data sources exploited in these papers were textual (title/abstract/keywords) and co-authorship data. The RS classes in the selected papers were almost equally used. DBLP was the main dataset utilized. Cosine similarity, social network analysis (SNA) and term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF–IDF) algorithm were frequently used. In terms of evaluation methodologies, 24 papers applied only offline evaluations. Furthermore, precision, accuracy and recall metrics were the popular performance metrics. In the reviewed papers, “use more datasets” and “new algorithms” were frequently mentioned in the future work part as well as conclusions.

Originality/value

Given that a review study has not been conducted in this area, this paper can provide an insight into the current status in this area and may also contribute to future research in this field.

Abstract

Purpose

In general, it is believed that firms belonging to the high technological intensity stratum have a more innovation capability. However, evidence has begun to appear in the literature demonstrating that firms in the low-tech stratum also have the innovation capability. This paper seeks to solve this dilemma. Through an analysis of industrial firms in an emerging country, this study aims to identify the existence of innovation capability in all strata of technological intensity.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors empirically assessed the impact of innovation capability on the performance of firms in all strata of technological intensity. The authors studied a sample of 910 firms from different industries and technology intensities operating in Peru, by applying a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM).

Findings

This study obtained three important findings. First, the authors show that innovation capability is present in all strata of technological intensity. Second, innovation capability differs according to the technological stratum. Third, firms in the lowest technological stratum can use more capabilities than those in the other strata.

Originality/value

This study pioneers the empirical analysis of innovation capability and technological intensity simultaneously to verify that innovation capability exists in the four strata of technological intensity.
